...Wall Street candidate in the race. The third-party candidate he would most resemble is John Anderson, the fiscally responsible, culturally liberal Republican who ran as an Independent in 1980. Anderson won 7% of the vote, mostly among the young, educated and secular. But today those people are partisan Democrats. After Ralph Nader, there's simply no way that liberals are going to take a flyer on a candidate like Bloomberg, who is almost ideologically identical to their nominee but lacks a D next to his name...
...first-ever daily national student newspaper," Scoops'08 brings together nearly 300 high school and college journalists from across the country. The founders, a Massachusetts high school student and a Yale sophomore, met as interns for Hillary Clinton's campaign, though both argue the site is non-partisan. The newspaper recently incorporated this summer as a not-for-profit entity called Scoop Media, Inc., enjoying pro bono legal assistance from Weil, Gotshal & Manges. It also draws guidance from an advisory board that includes New York Times columnist Frank Rich and Newsweek editor Jonathan Alter, among others...

"It's going to be somewhat difficult for everybody, not just Hispanics who tend to work Saturdays,"said Fernando Romero, president of the non-partisan Hispanics in Politics, an activist group in Nevada that is not endorsing a candidate. "It's brand new and it's a hard concept to understand. You can't register early. You can't vote absentee. You can't vote any time all day. And that's what...
...appalling that TIME joined the chorus of Israel bashers with Hamad's "Postcard: Bethlehem." Christians, Palestinians and Israelis worked hard to make this the best Christmas for Bethlehem in many years. Security precautions were relaxed. Shops and hotels were full of joyous pilgrims. But unscrupulous partisan journalists buried this good news. Waiting for an hour at a Bethlehem security checkpoint is preferable to being blown to bits by bombers. The situation is not the fault of Israel. Ami Isseroff, REHOVOT, ISRAEL...
